Actually, pedantry is correcting people for things that didn’t actually need correcting because everyone understood the meaning from the context, so there isn’t any reason for him to thank you because you didn’t actually do anything of value.
I think it’s been out for a while.
Anyways, when I try to log into the main recommended server (where I already have an account), before I even get to the login page, it gives me this error
Which is a pretty funny thing for the official app to say about the official main instance 🤣
Instead I just installed the PWA from the browser. It works ok.
God I hope so.
I don’t need a bunch of bigoted shit echoing around in there with us.

Hamas might be genocidal.
Israel is genocidal.
I’m not gonna go so far as to say Hamas are good guys, but treat people according to what they have done and not what they may do. They’re not currently on the same level.
Counter counter point: maybe
Oh fuck they’ve begun to mix!
Don’t you dare shatter my dreams
People care about graphics.
But they care about other things more
So the graphics need to be in service to something.
Imo the problem is that studios have become risk adverse because their budget is so big, so they pick an already popular IP, choose a marketable aspect of that IP, and spend that fortune turning the dial of that aspect up to 11.
Like X but bigger map
Like Y but more playable characters
Like Z but better graphics
Etc
But none of the time actually innovating any new player experience.
And players are finally getting fed up with playing the same handful of AAA game experiences again and again with different titles.
Graphics just happens to be the marketable attribute they like to crank most often
I have a separate phone for work. Not government or anything. I have a bunch of personal apps on it, but I don’t like having my only phone be owned by my work.
All you have to do is move to a town with no jobs, and pay the lower rent with thoughts and prayers
I have a withings scale and it’s great so far.
Like you, I had a Fitbit one, and I find it sucked and was very unreliable.
It’s worth noting that there is a withings home assistant integration
Perchance
You almost got the joke. You were right there
but the world is more complex than that
Proceeds to give the absolute most naive surface level interpretation
Ok then.
What is it that you think I’m arguing, that those figures would be impactful.
I explicitly said that I’m not calling China’s economy unstable, that instead I’m using hypotheticals to discuss the joke itself.
Dude, calm down and read what I wrote again.
I explicitly went out of my way to say how none of what I was writing was a reflection of the realities in China, but rather an explanation about why a joke about Schrodinger doesn’t apply.
I didn’t say that China had an unstable economy, I said that even if it had an unstable economy it could still outcompete the USA. How it’s not a mutually exclusive condition, like the cat being both alive and dead.
That wasn’t a fair way to characterize me or what I said, and it’s pretty upsetting that you made such a judgement about me, seemingly without reading what I wrote 🙁
Instability in the present doesn’t mean instability in the past where preparation could have been done. But setting that aside:
I really think that the way that the USA is being outcompeted (according to these seemingly hypocritical sources) could be competitive spontaneously given the size and resources of china.
It’s always things like EVs that these news sources focus on, and China did invest heavily into battery tech during a time of relatively stability in the past, which is paying dividends now, also they’re just able to manufacture nice cars for cheaper, plain and simple.
They outcompete for electronics manufacturing due to the lower cost of labour, the scale of manufacturing they can provide, and proximity of materials, and the existing tooling.
Etc.
And even if none of that was true, have you never seen a store that is almost bankrupt, putting on crazy sales to attract new customers? Undercutting competitor could be what causes the instability.
All this is hypothetical, I’m not arguing that’s actually what’s bappen in China, I’m just describing how these things need not be mutually exclusive.
I get your point, Western propaganda can’t make up its mind about if they’re strong or weak.
But it’s not really a funny joke because economic instability isn’t mutually exclusive with outcompeting, so the Schrodinger doesn’t really apply.
Tbf graphics like that are commonly used to be deceitful, because people don’t actually check the numbers on the left.
But in this case I think it probably doesn’t matter lol
